Animation for Television

Team Video | Motion Graphics & 3d Animation

Background

After years freelancing in interactive multimedia, a collaboration with a video producer introduced me to motion graphics, launching a five-year period in broadcast design across 2D, 3D, and animation. I began at Interface Video as a computer artist, was promoted to animator, and later moved to Team Video where I led creatives producing broadcast graphics for national networks.

Concept Development

A notable client was BBC America. Unlike U.S. networks, the BBC's on-air design was measured and minimal. Our challenge was translating that sensibility to the fast-paced, ad-driven U.S. market without losing brand integrity. The solution: preserve the simplicity of the BBC brand while dramatically increasing tempo through split-second transitions. The result was an on-air system that felt authentically BBC yet competitive in the U.S.

Other clients included PBS, TLC, Discovery Channel, NBC4, and ABC7.

Recognition

Shortly after leaving motion graphics to join Oracle and focus on UX design, I was nominated for an Emmy in the Graphics category.
